Two men have been arrested in Isle of Wight County following two separate investigations involving the online distribution of Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM).

Officials with the Isle of Wight County Sheriff’s Office partnered with regional law enforcement agencies through the Southern Virginia Internet Crimes Against Children (SOVA ICAC) Task Force on both of these cases.

In Chun Kim, 36 was arrested on July 30. He is charged with 10 counts of Distribution of Child Pornography. Days later, investigators arrested 27-year-old Tyler Caruthers, of Newport News. He is also charged with 10 counts of Distribution of Child Pornography.

“Every image or video depicting the sexual abuse of a child represents a real victim who has suffered unimaginable harm” said Isle of Wight County Sheriff James R. Clark, Jr. “Our investigators remain steadfast in identifying those who possess or distribute this material and in working alongside our law enforcement partners to protect children and hold offenders accountable. These investigations demonstrate our unwavering commitment to pursuing offenders wherever they may be and ensuring they are brought before the courts.”

Both Kim and Caruthers are being held at Western Tidewater Regional Jail without bond.
